Warriors’ Steph Curry scores 16 points off bench in NBA All-Star Game
After knocking off Sabrina Ionescu in the first-ever NBA vs. WNBA 3-point competition on Saturday night in Indiana, Steph Curry suited up for his 10th appearance in the NBA All-Star game.
Curry came off the bench for the first time in the All-Star game, scoring 16 points on 6-of-17 shooting from the field with eight assists and five rebounds in 26 minutes.
The Warriors’ veteran point guard showed a wide variety of skills on Sunday night, including multiple triples and smooth handling. Curry drilled four 3-pointers. Curry also nearly put away a lob from Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns.
